About the book:
\n\n
"\;For the People\, For the Country: Patrick Henry&rsquo\;s Final Political Battle"\; tells the remarkable story of how the most eloquent public speaker of the American Revolutionary era and a leading antifederalist during debates over ratification of the Constitution reemerged on the side of the federalists and once again changed history.
\n\n
Much more than a fire-breathing demagogue\, the Patrick Henry we encounter here comes to life as a principled leader of the young nation who believed above all in working with a government elected by the people\, advocating for political change in "\;a constitutional way"\;&mdash\;at the ballot box. A gripping narrative\, this book will change long-held views of this great Founding Father.
